LOVE HER

Stephen, I like what you’re saying. But every situation is so different. Look at my marriage. I’m really worried. My wife and I just don’t have the same feelings for each other we used to have. I guess I just don’t love her anymore and she doesn’t love me. What can I do?

The feeling isn’t there anymore? I asked.

That’s right. He reaffirmed. And we have three children we’re really concerned about. What do you suggest?

Lover her. I replied.

I told you, the feeling just isn’t there anymore.

Love her.

You don’t understand. The feeling of love just isn’t there.

Then love her. If the feeling isn’t there, there’s a good reason to love her.

But how do you love when you don’t love?

My friend, love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is a fruit of love, the verb. So love her. Serve her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her. Are you willing to do that?

Love is not a feeling between a husband and a wife. If you go by emotions, you will not win. Love your spouse by faith. God loves covenant. Covenant is very powerful and the enemy hates. God said, “Call upon me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things which you do not know.” –Jeremiah 33:3
